Remove people from photos
Erase photobombers, tourists in the background or an ex from a photo you love. Paint over who should go — or just remove everyone in the background — and the scene is rebuilt naturally behind them.

Great for
- Travel photos full of strangers
- Wedding and graduation shots with a photobomber
- Keeping a great photo of yourself after a breakup
- Cleaning up a group shot before printing
Tips for the best result
- Include shadows and reflections of the person in your brush stroke.
- Paint a little wider than the person — the edges blend better.
- For people touching your subject, also describe what should be there instead (e.g. ‘her arm resting at her side’).
Questions
How do I remove a person from a photo?
Upload the photo, paint over the person (including their shadow) and press Remove people. To clear a busy scene, choose ‘Everyone in the background’ instead of painting.
Will the people I keep look different?
No. When you paint an area, we put the original pixels back everywhere outside it, so faces you didn't paint can't change.
Can it remove someone who's hugging me?
Usually, yes. Paint the person and their arms, and describe what your shoulder or arm should look like. Expect to try a couple of times for tricky overlaps.
